[ELECTRON] Salt Of The Earth - Film (1954) Electron DIY Cinema tonight Fri. 7:00

[Bob]

Salt of the Earth (1954) is an American drama film written by Michael 
Wilson, directed by Herbert J. Biberman, and produced by Paul Jarrico. All 
had been blacklisted by the Hollywood establishment due to their 
involvement in socialist politics.[1]

The movie became a historical phenomenon and has a cult following due to 
how the United States establishment (politicians, journalists, studio 
executives, and other trade unions) dealt with the film. Salt of the Earth 
is one of the first pictures to advance the feminist social and political 
point of view.

The film centers on a long and difficult strike led by Mexican-American and 
Anglo miners against the Empire Zinc Company. The film shows how the 
miners, the company, and the police react during the strike. In neorealist 
style the producers and director used actual miners and their families as 
actors in the film.
